Taika Waititi to helm new Judge Dredd film
Taika Waititi is to direct a new Judge Dredd movie. The Thor: Ragnarok filmmaker has been tapped to oversee a new picture featuring the popular British comic book character. Drew Pearce - who has penned action movies such as The Fall Guy and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation - is set to write the script. Insiders say that Waititi and Pearce are friends who both grew up with the books and have been trying to find a project to collaborate on for several years. Dredd was created in the late 1970s by scribe John Wagner and artist Carlos Ezquerra and debuted in the British weekly anthology comic 2000 AD. He is a police officer in the bleak future metropolis of Mega-City One and is empowered to be judge, jury and executioner. Dredd proved to be a hugely popular character, featuring in several more comic strips, video and board games, books and even postage stamps in the UK. Over 100,000 comics and graphic novels featuring the character are said to have been sold. A Hollywood movie about Dredd was made in 1995 with action legend Sylvester Stallone in the title role, but the film was critically panned. The character returned to the big screen in 2012 for a more positively-received film with Karl Urban starring and a script by 28 Days Later writer Alex Garland. Plot details are yet to be revealed but it is believed to take inspiration from the comics rather than previous movie adaptations - leaning into world-building and dark humour. It is said to be a fun sci-fi blockbuster that is hoped to mark the launch of a Dredd universe that could be expanded with more films and shows on various platforms. Taika has helmed two movies in the Thor franchise but revealed that he had "no interest" in working in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and only accepted the project because he was "poor". The 49-year-old director told the Smartless podcast: "You know what? I had no interest in doing one of those films. It wasn't on my plan for my career as an auteur. "But I was poor and I'd just had a second child, and I thought, 'You know what, this would be a great opportunity to feed these children.'" Waititi added: "And Thor, let's face it – it was probably the least popular franchise. I never read Thor comics as a kid. That was the comic I'd pick up and be like 'Ugh'. And then I did some research on it, and I read one Thor comic or 18 pages, or however long they are." Taika felt that Marvel reaching out to him suggested that they were unsure about what to do with Chris Hemsworth's god of thunder. The Jojo Rabbit director explained: "I think there was no place left for them to go with that. I thought, 'Well, they've called me in, this is really the bottom of the barrel.'"

Father's Day binge guide: From the galaxy of ‘Andor' to the thrills of ‘Mission: Impossible'
'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' Here's another franchise that's packed with the sort of adrenaline-pumping, stunt-heavy action that dads generally gravitate toward. A spin-off of the popular John Wick movies, Ballerina stars Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, and in true Wick fashion, she's out for revenge. With solid action-movie credentials from standout roles in No Time to Die and The Gray Man , de Armas delivers balletic beatdowns with precision and style and even manages to hold her own against the Baba Yaga himself (yes, Keanu Reeves makes a cameo). Don't miss: Female action heroes: 8 women who redefined courage long before 'Ballerina' pirouetted in 'Fountain of Youth' Fountain of Youth , starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as sibling adventurers Luke and Charlotte Purdue, channels the spirit of Indiana Jones , National Treasure and even a bit of the early Mummy films through the lens of Guy Ritchie. Think: a daredevil hero, a brainy, voice-of-reason sister, a mythical artefact, a shadowy organisation sworn to protect it, a power-hungry villain—and yes, pyramids. If Dad's a fan of archaeological mysteries, globe-trotting adventures and slick action-comedy, then this one should be right up his alley. 'Shogun' If prestige series are more his thing, FX's award-winning Shogun , based on the 1975 historical novel by James Clavell, is essential viewing for Father's Day 2025. The performances are exceptional across the board, especially breakout star Anna Sawai's powerful portrayal of Lady Mariko. Populated by richly drawn characters and driven by a plot steeped in Japanese history, culture and political intrigue, this sweeping epic is as intellectually engaging as it is visually stunning. 'The Fall Guy' A glorious ode to stunt performers, The Fall Guy is a romantic-comedy remake of the classic '80s TV show. Ryan Gosling stars as Colt Seavers, a stuntman sidelined by an on-set accident who agrees to come out of retirement—not so much to double for Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Hollywood action-star-with-a-heart-of-lead, but to win back the heart of the film's director—and his ex-flame—Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt). With Gosling and Blunt's effortless chemistry and some of the most thrilling practical stunts in recent cinema, this film is a sure bet for dads looking for a lighthearted, fun action movie for Father's Day 2025. 'The Last of Us' HBO Max's The Last of Us is perfect for gamer dads or those drawn to post-apocalyptic storytelling. Based on the acclaimed video game of the same name, the series has been praised for its rich character development, emotional depth and immersive world-building. Starring Bella Ramsey and man-of-the-hour Pedro Pascal, it's fundamentally a story about survival and revenge, with their compelling father-daughter dynamic anchoring the emotional core. For dads, the themes of sacrifice, protection and retribution resonate deeply—delivering gut-wrenching moments of love, loss and quiet resilience amidst the chaos. 'Andor' The most grounded entry in the Star Wars universe, Andor —the prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story —offers an unflinching look at what it takes to mount a rebellion. Shifting the focus from space warfare, it tells the stories of the people on the ground, revealing the harsh realities people face in the fight for freedom—the sacrifices, the compromises, the casualties. Critically acclaimed and often called the best in the Star Wars series, Andor delivers a gritty, nuanced narrative that should resonate with longtime fans and newcomers alike. 'The Pitt' Hailed for its attention to detail, medical accuracy and for capturing the physical and emotional toll of working in an ER, HBO Max's The Pitt , starring Noah Wyle as the stressed-out senior senior emergency attending physician on duty, is being called one of the best shows of the year and the most realistic medical drama to date. With its unrelenting pace and raw portrayal of what goes on in an emergency room, the series is like ER meets 24 . The 15-episode first season unfolds in real-time, documenting a single 15-hour shift. Gritty, harrowing and authentic, it pulls no punches in showing the chaos, tough decisions and profound humanity behind hospital doors.
